La Chablisienne (Chablis): Raised from part of the 15 hectares of Bougros, which are sheltered from the winds through its location lying on a flat highside facing south/west on the top and, lower hill. Like all Chablis Grand Cru, Bougros is situated on rive gauche on an embankment with a steeper slope facing south. This situation on the hillside is particularly mild and the hours of sunshine are intense. The soils of Bougros are naturally well drained with some gradation from the coast, where the soils remain quite poor, to the upper part, which contain more clayey and more marly type of soils.
This Bougros is probably the best Chablis I have tasted during this trip. Fried butter, toasted bark nose, honey, honeysuckle, leather, spice, very complex. This one is going to grow well in 5-6 years. 91+
